      9. RASHI METHOD: SPREADSHEETS
      BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the Spreadsheet method is that inferences are made from non textual material. The 3 submethods are as follows:
      • Spreadsheet: Rashi makes inferences of a numerical nature that can be summarized in a traditional spreadsheet
      • Geometric: Rashi clarifies a Biblical text using descriptions of geometric diagrams
      • Fill-ins: Rashi supplies either real-world background material or indicates real-world inferences from a verse. The emphasis here is on the real-world, non-textual nature of the material.
      This example applies to Rashis Nu04-10a

      Brief Summary: And they shall put it and all its utensils inside a COVERING of goats’ skins RASHI: A COVERING refers to a Goat-skin-BRIEFCASE

Verse Nu04-10a discussing the packing of Temple utensils states And they shall put it and all its utensils inside a covering of goats’ skins, and shall put it upon a bar. Rashi explains the underlined phrase covering of goats' skins In a skin briefcase. Here Rashi gives a geometric model ((briefcase)) to clarify the Biblical text. Hence we classify this Rashi as a NonVerse diagrammatic Rashi.
